Farmers here have in many cases jjeen unable to fatten their' stock, and there has been no feed. Canterbury has not enjoyed the autumn r’.ins which were leaeonably to be expected and in consequence there ie a great dearth of feed.

Hard frosts are now prevailing hero and it is obvious that it will lie a ciatter of the greatest difficulty to Canterbury farmers to have fat stock to supply our markets during winter. CANTERBURY'S MISFORTUNE ...is surely... your opportunity. We have confidence, in recommending West Coast producers to consign their fat stock, both Cattle and Sheep, and tins market during the coming winter months. Supplies here will be short and the demand considerable. e*pecially in view of the fact that the pressure of factory space has now been relieved. HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY DO NOT MISS m I
